Thanks Ben! That looks a lot easier.

I talked to Jason over at iJDMTOY and as soon as these are out of testing and fully available to market, he's going to let me know, and I update here.

Looks like I will have to be doing this when I get the LEDs in the mail. Nice work by the way. Was it hard to extend the wiring, can't say I've ever tried that but maybe I will give it a shot.

Thanks again!

Can you make a solid crimp with a butt connector?
If you know what that means and the answer is yes, you'll be fine!

Just make sure you don't crimp the connectors back on until the wires are ran from the HID/low beam housing to the high beam/DRL housing. Unless you figure out how to snake the connectors over, but I couldn't. Also don't forget to make sure the AFS HID unit can rotate still if you have factory HID without any wires or the decoder box stopping it.

Don't hesitate to PM me if you have ANY questions.

Their kit is being redesigned from what I've heard. Think that was posted in your other thread YoNadz. Like said before, its a great upgrade over the nasty yellow halogens no matter what company you go with. This thread was a just a heads-up about the iJDMTOY line.

This might be a complete newbie question but do these also work as high beams or does the hi-beam basically become worthless and only a really nice DRL with the LED's?

^ The LED DRL lights up whenever your highbeams normally would, but they don't emit any usable light on the road. If you have OEM HIDs (in a pre-2011 2IS), you still have bi-xenon functionality to act as your high beam.
